38-year-old Sudanese alleged perpetrator the fatal assault on Friday of an asylum center manager in Pau, was indicted on Sunday February 21 for murder and imprisoned.
At the end of his custody, which had been extended on Saturday, the man was presented Sunday to an investigating judge, indicted, and remanded in custody in the remand center of Pau, said the public prosecutor of this city Cécile Gensac in a brief press release.
He is being prosecuted for having attacked Friday with a knife – 13 wounds have been identified – the head of the reception center for asylum seekers (Cada) Isard-COS de Pau, where he was taken care of a few years ago. The victim, a 46-year-old father, an experienced social worker and experienced asylum seeker, died of his injuries shortly after the assault.
The perpetrator should be deported
In France since 2015, and benefiting until last November from a status of subsidiary international protection, the defendant was doomed to an imminent expulsion, due to convictions for violence which earned him imprisonment between January 2017 and August 2018. He had not responded at the end of 2020 to two summons to notify him of the end of his residence permit.
In police custody, the man explained to investigators that he harbored reproaches
towards the Cada Isard-COS in Pau, and considered that his / her situation was not properly handled
, said the prosecutor on Saturday.
Fearing to be returned to Sudan at war, he had come on Friday to obtain from this body a paper for the attention of Ofpra (French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons) in order to allow it to remain on the national territory
, according to Cécile Gensac.
The perpetrator was not neither reported nor recorded in the context of violent radicalization, and the elements collected make it possible to rule out any terrorist intention
, she had stressed.
